How rooftop solar works
Solar panels on your roof turn sunlight into electricity. The inverter converts it for your home. Extra power goes to the grid, and the net meter records it.

Step by step
How rooftop solar works
- 1
Sunlight reaches your roof
Solar panels turn sunlight into direct-current (DC) electricity. Even on a cloudy day they keep working, just a little slower.
- 2
The inverter makes it usable
The inverter changes DC power into the alternating-current (AC) power your lights, fans and appliances run on.
- 3
Your home uses it first
During the day your home runs on its own solar power, so you draw much less from the grid.
- 4
Extra power goes to the grid
A net meter records the extra units you send out. They are adjusted against the units you take later.

Questions
Common questions
About 100 sq ft of shadow-free roof per kW. A 3 kW system needs roughly 300 sq ft.
Yes, but with lower output. Over a year, a well-designed system still generates the planned units.
Most home systems are installed in 1-3 days after material arrives. The DISCOM net-meter process may take a few more weeks.
Clean the panels every 2-4 weeks and keep the area shadow-free. You can raise a service request from this app any time.
On-grid systems switch off during a grid outage for safety. Hybrid and off-grid systems with batteries keep your home running.
